This is because they contain all the sounds and art of your cartoon. But if your friend also has the Cartoon Toolbox, then you don't need to do a full export, because now there is the Cartoon Transformer. If you want to give a cartoon to a friend, or upload the cartoon to Big Top's Home Page on The World Wide Web (www.Bigtop.com), just export the cartoon using the Transfrm.exe located in the FCT directory. Instead of an exported cartoon of two to three megabytes, your "transformed" cartoon may only be 60 to 120k.
